Packers' Nick Niemann: Returns to practice

Niemann (pectoral) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Niemann has been sidelined since Week 9, and he turned in a limited session in his return to practice Wednesday. He contributed solely on special teams to begin the season, and that's likely to remain the case if he is ultimately activated from injured reserve.
